I agree with all of the above. In over 50 years, using all of our 5 RVs, we have never had any tank gauge in any RV that was accurate. The gauges in the Monty we now have are just as inacurate as all the rest. I learned long ago to not pay any attention to the gauges. I have no idea why the manufacturers install gauges that are not reliable.
I do have a portable gauge that I have sometimes used for years to measure the amount of propane in the Propane tanks. It works fine. Just hold it against the ouside of tank, slide it up and down and it will indicate the propane level. I suspect that someone, somwhere, has invented a gauge that would be accurate for the water tanks in an RV but why manufacturers fail to install them excapes me.
